Summary: Properties panels don't open unless you click on Pd Window

Initial Comment:
• launch pd
• open any existing patch using File->open
• right-click on canvas or array and select Properties
• nothing happens except this:
  ‣ .pdwindow done-popup 0 206 47;
  ‣ error: .pdwindow: no such object
• click on Pd window, then on patch
• now click properties panel and it works

This bug exists in the HEAD of pure-data.git but not in pd-gui-rewrite/0.43.  I suspect it is due to the changes in the startup procedure and things are not getting initialized properly.  I'll try to take a look later today.

Message:
Ok, I fixed this.  (I was wrong about the startup procedure) It turns out
that not all window managers send a FocusIn event when a new window is
created, so ::focused_window was not being set.  I made the Map event also
set focused_window, which I guess all window managers will send either Map,
FocusIn, or both upon window creation, so we're covered.

Ah, ok, I have a Mac again.  This bug does not seem to happen on
Ubuntu/Lucid, but it does happen on Mac OS X 10.5.8 using Tcl/Tk 8.5.8.
